Project Summary

'Patient Management System (PMS) 'is a website that provides online medical services to everyone hardly matters whether the people live in metro or a remotely located village. The system helps to automate all the activities of existing manual system. Users can connect through their home internet or approach any nearby kiosk to get these services.

The system design is motivated by factors like very few doctors or no doctors at remote locations, limited hour services and lack of sophisticated medical equipments and there are no patients’ or lab data management. This system can maintain all the previous history and lab data like patients’ health reports and lab reports.

It can be used by the patients to take online appointments of doctors, view their previous health records, lab reports etc. The doctors can give online appointments, e-prescriptions and view the patient’s history. This system can be entered using a username and password. It is accessible either by admin, doctors or patients/kiosk manager. The data can be retrieved easily. The interface is very user-friendly.

Project Objectives

The alignment of information systems with organizational objectives and strategies is a key, contemporary challenge to organizations in general and the health care industry in particular. Researchers and managers alike believe that the selection of new information systems to support objectives and strategies focuses the organization on accomplishing its objectives and realizing the value of the investments in the systems. The purpose of this study was to help understand alignment in health care so that health care information systems planners can better achieve it.

The drawback of the existing system is lack of doctor’s availability and lack of sophisticated equipments. It is difficult to handle the whole system manually and it is less accurate and to keep the data in case files for future reference because it may get destroyed. Moreover it is very difficult to retrieve data. Redundancy of data may occur and this may lead to the inconsistency. The manual system is so time-consuming.

The proposed system is very easy to operate. Speed and accuracy are the main advantages of proposed system. The medical services are provided online to everyone. There is no redundancy of data. The user’s details are easily stored, retrieved and used at any time. The proposed system will easily handle all the data and the work done by the existing systems. The proposed systems eliminate the drawbacks of the existing system to a great extent and it provides tight security to data.

Project Implementation Method

From the perspective of a patient, patient management software treats them more like consumers and less like sick people. Software can fill gaps and empower patients to work with their own time schedule and not that of the physician’s office.

Patient management systems allow patients to do the following:

Schedule appointments
Refill prescriptions
Ask questions
Get appointment and treatment reminders electronically, using email or text

Douglass believes management systems can keep staff from constantly shuffling papers around while talking to a patient, which makes the patient compete for attention. “It’s more of a personal experience for patients because when they’re interacting with the front office staff, they’re interacting one-on-one,” Douglass says. “It seems more professional to the patient.”

Allowing patients to handle some tasks on their own and often after regular business hours can improve their overall morale and increase satisfaction with a physician’s office or practice. Patients can also check their own records and look at test results. They can scan for possible mistakes and ask for a correction, both of which are parts of a patient actively participating in their own health care. In some cases, patients can choose to connect data from wearables to their physicians, which can increase the feeling of a team working on behalf of the patient.

Benefits of the Project

The purpose of the project entitled “Patient Management System (PMS)” provides online medical services to everyone hardly matters whether they live in metro or a remotely located village. Users can connect through their home internet or approach any nearby kiosk to get these services. What motivate to build this system are:

1) Very few or no doctors at remote locations.

2) Limited hour services and lack of sophisticated equipments.

3) No patients/lab data management.

The main function of the system is that it can be used by the patients to take online appointments of doctors, view their previous health records, lab reports etc. The doctors can give online appointments, e-prescriptions and view the patient’s history. This site will help you to find the blood donators and eye donators. The users can register and store their details and retrieve these details as and when required, and also to manipulate these details meaningfully.

Provides online medical services to all people whether they are in metro or remotely located areas.
Users can connect through their home internet or approach any nearby kiosk to get the services.
Patients can make online appointments; look their previous health records, doctor’s prescriptions, lab reports and medical expenses.
Doctors can give online appointments, e-prescriptions, and view patient’s history.
Kiosk manager can see/adjust appointments, perform day open and close activities.
In case of any medical error patient can register a complaint. Patient’s grievance and feedback goes to admin and he can forward to specific doctor to answer.
Since all the hospital data management is automated, it reduces the paper work and the users’ data can be stored and retrieved at faster speed and accuracy
The site has online help manuals for patients.
This website helps to find the blood donators and eye donators.
Ensures data accuracy and security.
Administrator controls the entire system.
Reduce the damages of the machines.
Minimize manual data entry.
Greater efficiency.

User friendly and interactive

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Purpose:

The main purpose of the system is to provide online medical services to all the people situated in any location.

Scope:

The scope of the PATIENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (PMS) is as follows:

The PATIENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM has good potential to grow since it provides specialty health care to the remote hospitals. The growth could be the connectivity between

a) District hospitals/ health centres and super-specialty hospitals in the cities.

b) Community Health Centres at block level and district hospital and

c) Primary Health Centre at village level and community health centres for health care and delivery of medical advice. Further, there could be a network of super-specialty hospitals providing telemedicine consultation to any of the regions.

Users of the system

1. Patients

2. Doctors

3. Kiosk Manager (The kiosk manager associated to a small area should get registered. He acts as communication link between the patients and hospital.)

4. Admin
